Shouldn't an AmigaOne or a Sam be able to manage modern video editing?

A more appropriate question would be 'Is anyone going to program a modern video editing system for the AmigaOne or Sam'


Yes, I am. Unfortunately I have other things to do first, so it's going to take a while.

There are excellent open source tools out there that could be ported to AmigaDos 4.1 or MOS

Kino

Cinelerra

DVD Styler

It's almost as good as Mac and PC stuff and it's free and open source...


Exactly how good are they? A few years ago I went ahead and tried every open-source video editor that I could find. Kino and Cinelera couldn't even open my video files that I had (they were DV format only). Jahshaka crashed every other minute and had the most disorganized GUI that I have ever seen. They were all so unusable that I ended up using Windows Movie Maker and an old copy of Cyberlink Power DVD for the project I had at the time. After that I bought Premiere Elements.

Things may have changed, but I didn't see a single editor that I thought was worth using as a basis for anything.
